Transfer Rumour Harry Winks

[jonnyboy316]

The reason this touched a nerve with the fan base is because this would be so on brand to overpay for a player of this profile. It has now been reported that we would be looking for a loan but Winks only has 2 years left so I can’t see Spurs going for that unless the view is his stock can rise significantly if he can have a solid season on loan.

My instinct is that this would not be a good move for us or for Winks. There are question marks over his fitness in relation to his ankle but even if we put that to one side it is clear he has confidence issues. We are not a good club to sign for if you are not mentally strong. He would be far better off at Southampton

Its a done deal lads hes already in bill kenwrongs office

We currently want him on a loan, Spurs currently want a sale. The managers target this one, more so than Thelwell's.

Phil McNulty got very grumpy on Twitter yesterday with a couple of fans saying, in the context of Winks, that a charismatic manager-recruiter and a proper DoF do not fit together.

This this rather suggests the fans not the journalist had a better grip on EFC realities. The elephant in the room: Just who is in charge of recruitment at Everton? To answer that we have to include Moshiri and Kenwright in scope seeking an answer to this pretty fundamental question.

It is hard to believe our recruitment will improve until our fundamental structure and process do.

Thelwell has his hands full it seems.

This worries me a bit tbh. Why are we still having “manager signings” and “DOF signings”?

Possibly due to the lack of a head of recruitment, a position that I honestly thought would have been sorted weeks and weeks ago.

Every single Spurs player would improve us massively. Every. One.

Yeh Dele really improved us

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

dreadful player

 

[blulouie]

I think it will be him or Zinky.

I think it will be both if the deals are right for the club.

 

[billyblue80]

Only positive I take from Winks is we might see a 433

Hes our best player.

To these who call him a crab.

 

[Brownie]

Say NO to manager signings

 

[Nymzee]

Plays the same as Gilmour, for £20m surely even costs more somehow.

Let’s not do YouTube videos.

The Bilyaletdinov one made him look like Ryan Giggs.

Never again, one bitten and twice shy…

We never played him in the hole.

Honestly still disgusts me how Moyes played him out wide so much.
